This project uses the AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality)’s data for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and CDC’s WONDER (Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) to understand cancer mortality rates and its relation to SDOH at county-level in Georgia from 2009 to 2020. The data were aggregated from sources like the U.S. Census Bureau, CDC, and Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) using surveys, administrative records, disease surveillance and death certificates. The study population includes residents of Georgia in 159 counties from 2009 to 2020 who’s cause of death was determined to be cancer. Key variables include total deaths in the county related to cancer, counties, year reported, total population of the county, median age, race, household factors, and healthcare access.
